World Healing Meditation

For Midnight Of New Year’s Eve

In the beginning the Great White Spirit, Father/Mother of all life,
Created Heaven and Earth and spoke: ‘Let there be light.’
This is how the Christ Star, the Sun of all Suns and Light of all lights,
Came into being.
Its light constantly flows forth into the whole of Creation.
From it all life is born and that is how it came about
That there is a world for us and that
The Universal Christ’s light and love,
Wisdom and truth exists in us and our world.

Under the radiance of this Star all human hearts open wide,
And the Divine spark in each one turns
Into a small still flame of love.
With the turning of the yearly cycles on the Earth plane,
The intensity of the Christ Star’s rays
Has constantly been increasing.
As a result in many hearts this small flame
Has grown into a blazing and all-consuming fire.

When in our minds it unites itself with the sacred fire
Of Mother Earth and Father Sun,
Hand in hand with God and the Angels
All darkness and fears of Earth life burn away.
They transform themselves into vibrations
That fill every individual heart and soul
With renewed hope, faith and trust,
And thoughts of healing and peace.
From us they are flowing into the
Farthest and remotest corners of the whole of Creation.

Deep inner healing takes place on all levels of life,
As humankind’s wellbeing
And that of our whole world is being restored
By the Angels of Healing and Peace,
And the Great Mother’s wisdom and love flows
Ever more powerfully from all hearts and souls.
At last there is peace on the Earth
And goodwill reigns supreme towards all life.
Forgiveness fills everybody’s whole being
And we are one again with God and the Universe,
In perfect harmony and understanding.

Rejoice!
For when we are healing, all life and lifeforms
Are healing with us.
All glory and honour and thanks be to You,
Great Spirit, Father/Mother of all life,
And your only born Son/Daughter,
The Universal Christ.

Amen

The First Steps​

Like all truly great ideas, astrology’s basic principles are very simple. Everything is wheels within wheels and cycles within cycles constantly repeating themselves. In my view there is no better instrument than the Divine science for getting to know our true self and loving it, and doing the same for people who are accompanying our pathway through life. As for my taste too much gobble-de-gook surrounds this subject, from the beginning of my writings I have aimed at demystifying it. Besides, instead of feeding people by catching one fish for them, I prefer to show them where they can find and land the tastiest morsels for themselves.

I believe that astrology’s extraordinary beauty and usefulness as well as its basic simplicity can only reveal itself when one strips away all confusing non-essentials elements. As soon as this has been done, the subject transforms itself from something that is best avoided, because for ordinary mortals without specialist knowledge it is far too complicated, mysterious and – to some – downright scary. In the right hands it can quickly reveal itself as something to be enjoyed and relished as the precious gift to humankind which in truth it always has been.

Knowing that simplicity is the greatest thing the Universe can bestow upon any of its children of the Earth, I keep things as simple as possible and use language that hopefully can be followed easily by anyone. In my view the best approach to astrology is the D.I.Y. one. For this purpose I have added some easy to follow instructions on how to find and interpret your Moon signs, as well as a few brief general notes about the role of the Sun and the Moon in our birthcharts.

In all my writings I have always endeavoured to do my share of dispersing the prejudices against astrology that to this day exist in our world. By showing how it can be used to find a better understanding of ourselves, each other and our world, I would like to assist those who come to my website, and especially the Astro Files, to overcome their fear of this truly amazing subject. The kind of astrology I practise has nothing to do with fortune telling. It is applied psychology and an instrument for getting to know ourselves, weaknesses and strengths alike, and for finding out about our innermost motivations and highest potentialities.

My advice for anyone who stands with trepidation before the vastness of astrology is: do not be discouraged. Not everybody is destined to become a professional astrologer. For many it is quite sufficient to learn more about the Sun signs and what they can disclose about their own and everyone else’s predestined pathway and destiny. My own life has taught me how, through a better appreciation of one’s own and other people’s little foibles and peccadilloes, one imperceptibly and almost automatically grows into a kinder and more loving and tolerant person. Astrology has helped me in so many ways, but especially with this and I am convinced that it can do the same for you. Should you be interested in finding out some more, please let me know.

The Day Of Our Birth​

Every number from one to nine is under the rulership of one the known planets of our solar system. The zero represents the circle of Eternity. The day we were born in any month of the year in itself reveals quite a lot about ourselves and our predestined pathway through life. Together with the wise ones in charge of us, we ourselves chose it a long time ago in the world or light, our true home and resting place after each completed lifetime. We agreed to this pathway as the most suitable one for the further development of the abilities we already possessed, in the hope that in this way our evolutionary pathway would one fine day lead to the fulfilment of our highest potential as a human being on the Earth plane.

The numbers do not MAKE us the way we are, they merely reveal some of the characteristics we had already developed before we entered into our present earthly sojourn. It gives us pointers to who and what we are, i.e. the personality we developed in previous lifetimes.

To find out to which Sun sign and its ruling planet your day of birth belongs, take a look at the first list below. The signs are named in their order of appearance in the zodiac. Having found your day of birth, go to the relevant link in the Table of Sun Signs at the end and click on your sign. Take a look at my interpretation of it to see how much light it can shed on your personality and your predestined pathway through your present lifetime.
1. If you were born on the 9th, 18th or 27th day of any month, the Sun in Aries, not merely while the Sun is in this sign.

2. If you were born on the 6th, 15th and 24th of any month, the Sun in Taurus, not merely while the Sun is in Taurus.

3. If you were born on the 5th, 14th or 23rd day of any month, the Sun in Gemini, not merely while the Sun is in this sign.

4. If you were born on the 2nd or the 20th day of any month, the Sun in Cancer, not merely while the Sun is in this sign.

5. However, if you were born on the 11th or 29th day of any month, not merely when the Sun is in Scorpio, the Master Number 11 applies to you and the ‘Studies In Mastership’ are of particular interest for you.

6. If you were born on the 1st, 10th, 19th or 28th day of any month, the Sun in Leo, not merely while the Sun is in this sign.

7. If you were born on the 5th, 14th or 23rd day of any month, the Sun in Virgo, not merely while the Sun is in this sign. See also ‘The Sun In Gemini’.

8. If you were born on the 6th, 15th and 24th of any month, the Sun in Libra, not merely while the Sun is in this sign. See also ‘The Sun In Taurus’.

9. If you were born on the 11th and 29th day of any month, the Sun in Scorpio, not merely while the Sun is in this sign. However, if you were born on the 11th or 29th day of any month, the Master Number 11 applies to you and the ‘Studies In Mastership’ are of particular interest for you.

10. If you were born on the 3rd, 12th, 21st or 30th day of any month, the Sun in Sagittarius, not merely while the Sun is in this sign.
11. If you were born on the 8th, 17th or 26th day of any month, the Sun in Capricorn, not merely while the Sun is in this sign.

12. If you were born on the 4th, 13th or 31st day of any month, the Sun in Aquarius, not merely while the Sun is in this sign. It does, however, not apply to the 22nd day. In that case the ‘Studies In Mastership’ are of particular interest for you.

13. If you were born on the 7th, 16th or 25th day of any month, the Sun in Pisces, not merely while the Sun is in this sign.

We Three Kings Of Orient Are

Part One​

Today is the 6th January, the day of the Epiphany, which is one of the three principal and oldest festival days of the Christian churches. The others are Easter and Christmas. The Epiphany is a commemoration of the day when the legend tells us that the presence of the baby Jesus Christ was for the first time revealed to our world. The word itself has its origin in the Greek ‘epiphaneia’, which means manifestation and/or exposure to view. The event originated in the Eastern church, where at first it also included a celebration of Christ’s birth. However, by the year 354 the church in Rome had decided to move the date of Christ’s birth to the 25th December and the Epiphany to the 6th January. In the Western church the festival is primarily in honour of the visit of the infant Jesus by the Magi, while the Eastern church celebrates it in memory of the baptism of Jesus.

For Christian churches throughout our world the Epiphany has remained a holy day. Special services are celebrated every year in remembrance of the day when, according to the Jesus legend, the holy infant was first presented to our world. In spite of the Bible’s aversion to astrology, it is interesting to note that at the time the New Testament was written, astronomy and astrology were still one subject that was widely practised. How fortunate that the more enlightened Christians of our time no longer have any difficulties with accepting that the three wise men, had they ever existed in the reality of Earth life, would have been astronomers as well as astrologers.

The symbolisms contained in the Epiphany story are poignant and potent ones. To my mind, there are some significant parallels between this tale and our age, because we have reached the phase of our development as a race when the Christ child is waiting to be born in all hearts. First there are the three wise men, who came to worship and adore the child and to present it with their gifts. The three companions are thought to have been Persian priests, astronomers and astrologers. In Christianity’s early days the men were called magi, because their activities were then considered to be magic. St. Matthew’s Gospel is the only one that mentions this fact. The men’s gifts suggest that they could have come from Babylon, Arabia, Sheba or Yemen.

Later traditions gave the men separate nationalities and colours of skin, as a symbol of the worship of the Christ child by all nations. The wise ones were called Balthazar, Melchior and Gaspar or Casper. It was only in the third Century that the church declared them to be Kings, possibly in an attempt to justify the prophecy in Psalm 72:11: ‘May all Kings fall down before him.’ In ‘War And Peace Between Nations’ you can find out more about the symbolism of the men’s kingship and their gifts in the chapter ‘The Three Wise Men’.

Be that as it may, the legend tells us that the men could read God’s Wisdom in the stars. Wisdom and knowledge spiritually are light and ignorance darkness. The knowledge that came to the men intuitively is the light of the Highest Star that was capable of leading them to the child in the stable. In the same way, modern astrology can act as the light that shows each one of us the way to the Christ child in our own hearts. The crib and the stable represent the human heart, the most humble place on Earth. And now at long last the time has come for the child of the highest parentage, the Christ child, to come fully alive in all hearts. Yet, it can do so only when we approach it with a loving and reverend heart and above all with sincerity and deep humility. And when it does come alive, it shows us how we each can do our own share of blessing and healing, saving and redeeming ourselves, each other and our world.

Shepherds, in the Middle East at the time the Jesus legend was created, were considered to be the lowest of the low of all people. Thus the shepherds and the visiting kings represent the lowest and the Highest ranks of population in our world. All human souls on the Earth plane eventually reach the evolutionary level when they freely and willing kneel before their Christ child and pray for its help, hence: ‘Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Christ is our Lord!’ So holy and entirely good is the child in the manger that even the sheep and the oxen, who represent the animal part of humankind’s nature, do not feel threatened and are unafraid. And so they kneel peacefully and contently by the side of the child. Its High and Holy parents, in earthly life symbolised by Mary and Joseph, are looking on and all present are joint together in adoration of the child. The Christ Star above the stable shines into the heart and soul of us and our world to bring peace, while high above the Earth plane around the throne of God the Angels are singing their praises.

The world and its evil machinations are symbolised by Herod and those around him and all they stood for. Yet, in spite of all their efforts at killing the Christ child, they did not succeed. It could not be done because this very special child – then and now – enjoys the all-powerful protection by its Divine parents and the Angels. No matter how hard anyone tries to kill the Christ child within, in the long run it cannot be accomplished by anyone. And because each one of us is a spark of God’s great light and power, we are just as immortal and indestructible as the child in the manger and enjoy the same powerful protection.

The three men knew, as well as we do in our age, that knowledge is power. And because they were wise, they appreciated that their knowledge of the child should not be placed into the wrong hands, i.e. the unready. This applies to each one of us. No-one will force us to turn to God in prayer and meditation to consciously ask for help to be guided back into the wisdom and the conscious knowledge of our true self and into the presence of the Divine in our lives. Only when they have reached a certain evolutionary point are human souls ready to receive this knowledge.

Now our whole world is reaching this phase in its spiritual development and it is up to each one of us to call upon God’s knowledge and wisdom to guide and protect us, individually and as a race. If during our quiet reflections, prayers and meditations on the healing journey there rise from the innermost core of our being, our subconscious, memories from past lifetimes that appear to be too evil for words, fear not. God and the Angels are waiting for us to call upon them to show us how to resolve and redeem even our most ancient and difficult Karma. With their help even the greatest evil can and must be transmuted into the highest good for the whole of Creation.

I find it helpful to know that all my experiences only ever came and still are coming into my life, because each one is trying to teach me something. All our experiences always come for this reason, in spite of the fact that for a very long time we lack the spiritual awareness to understand their meaning. Appreciating and accepting that this is so, sets us free to look for and find the intended learning from the experiences of the past – our own and those of our world. When human souls finally understand why things had to happen, their gratitude for even the most traumatic events is genuine and heartfelt. In this way they are transmuted into well learnt lessons and have at last found a constructive use.

The awareness that every soul contains God’s highest qualities enables each one of us to make a conscious effort at bringing forth their very best from the depth of our own being. That is how all of us in the end have to deal with and slowly overcome the drives and urges of our earthly nature, which in this procedure is nailed to the cross of Earth. The cross is humankind’s oldest known symbol for our earthly existence. For a very long time the seed of the Christ child has been waiting to come fully alive in every heart and soul, and there is plenty of evidence everywhere that this is now happening.

The deeper we and our world proceed into the Aquarian Age, the more of us are ready to assist the birth and maturing process of their own Christ child. This requires the building of bridges that enable us to cross from the outgoing Age of Pisces into the new one. And that is where astrology once more enters the picture, because it provides us with valuable clues and fresh insights into the hidden meaning of many of the spiritual teachings of the past, including those of the Bible. Some of these sacred texts are undoubtedly as valid now as they were in days gone by.

During its awakening the Divine spark in our hearts turns into a small still flame of love. When this unites itself and comes together with the sacred fire of Mother Earth and Father Sun, the leaping flames of the ensuing fire of love uplift and transmute the soul’s fears and anxieties of Earth life into total faith and trust in God and the Angel’s all-powerful protection. Many of you know by now that my kind of astrology is applied psychology that can show the way for anyone who is ready to assist their Christ child to grow into adulthood, and through their communications with their Highest or God Self find rest, peace and healing

Another Excursion Into Numerology

The Holy Trinity

Part One​

As we all know, seeing is believing and that is how the Universe in its infinite kindness and wisdom is constantly providing me with evidence that numerology and astrology work. My experience has shown that they function at their best when used together. To me numerology and Western traditional Astrology are twin subjects that cannot be separated from each other, as one explains the meaning of the other. More than anything else these two, used in tandem, are helping me to unravel the deepest mysteries of the Universe and the processes of Creation. Because of this I am gaining an ever better understanding of the forces of life that are constantly at work in the spiritual background of our earthly existence. In my view, without these powers there would be no life anywhere, not merely on our planet.

To my mind, nothing else can explain the highly complex concepts of the Divine and the processes of creation, especially those that were at work at the very beginning in such easily understood terminology. Let me give you a few examples. In numerology the one represents the first impulse of Creation, the masculine God, the spiritual Sun behind the Sun in the sky above us, the power aspect of the Divine. Number 1 = the Sun, planetary ruler of Leo. The two is the second impulse, the feminine Goddess, its counterpart, whose symbol is the Moon. Number 2 = the Moon, planetary ruler of Cancer. These two aspects of the Divinity join forces in the three. 1 + 2 = 3. Number 3 = Jupiter, ruler of Sagittarius and co-ruler of Pisces, together with the dreamy and other-worldly Neptune. Both signs are symbolisms for the Divine realms responsible for the development of humankind’s superconscious faculties.

To understand this, we need to reach out a bit further. Jupiter stands for the principles of harmony, law and philosophical beliefs. The Sagittarian evolutionary pathway first takes us human souls, in the course of our earliest explorations of Earth life, into the exploration – alternately at the giving and receiving end – of religious bigotry, discordant and dogmatic beliefs, disharmony and injustice. At that stage of our development we are as yet unable to peer beyond the end of our nose and we fail to recognise the validity of other faiths and denominations. And because we are by nature quarrelsomeness creatures, at any moment we are ready to go to battle with those who disagree with our beliefs. We are greedy people with immoral behaviour patterns with a constant craving for pleasure and seeking satisfaction of our earthly desires and urges, and our outlook on life is still a completely materialistic one.

However, after many lifetimes of wallowing in the misery of this kind of existence we reach the evolutionary point when its demands have been satisfied. Now the behaviour we ourselves once displayed returns to us in the attitudes and actions of those around us, among them our nearest and dearest. The Karmic debts we are creating in this way towards each other are going to keep us chained together, until every one of the issues has been resolved and put to rest that stops us from living together in peace and harmony. Round and round the zodiac we go, one lifetime after another, learning from the experiences each sign and house can provide for us, and growing through them.

In one of the lifetimes spent in Sagittarius our higher consciousness begins to stir into life and our Highest or God Self increasingly nudges us into reaching for making the positive qualities of this sign our own. This awakens an ever increasing urge for growth and expansion in us that we spend more and more of our time searching for satisfaction, harmony and justice. Our approach to life changes into an outgoing, friendly and optimistic one of good living by simply being a good person. Our inclinations become more positive and constructive and the sense of moral and social obligations towards life begins to develop.

Our interest in the religious/spiritual/philosophical side of life awakens. Its hopes, dreams and aspirations increasingly act as our guide to doing the right things at the right moment and avoiding the wrong ones. Our inner guide, the living God within, shows us the greater picture of life and with this comes an awareness of what is truly important in this life. With this recognition we freely and willingly seek ways of doing whatever is in our power to make a difference in our world and to ease the plight of our troubled and long-suffering planet.

Sagittarius is the storyteller and the conman of the zodiac, the wilder, more outrageous and less credible the story it brings, the better. Every one of the legends of our world bears witness to this. This is because wherever Jupiter’s energies enter into the picture, gullibility rears its ugly head and happily creates countless problems for us. Alas, for many lifetimes our earthly self is at the mercy of the desires of our lower nature. This part of us is so gullible that it quite happily believes just about anything it hears, sees or reads, thinking that it must represent some kind of what has become known as ‘Gospel truth’. It takes a long time before we find out that even that isn’t truth at all. But when we have become sufficiently evolved and the scales are falling from our eyes at last, we recognise with great clarity that stories like those of the Bible cannot possibly be taken at face value and that they have higher esoteric meanings that are hidden behind their surface words. hidden meanings. With this comes, among many other things, the illumination that the only person who can save and redeem us is each one of us ourselves.

The earthly mind was not given to any one of us for nothing. It is a wonderful instrument that is in need of constant fine-tuning and training until it can finally serve as a channel through which the wisdom and truth of the Highest can reliably flow into our world. To enable us to distinguish truths from lies and that which is true and right from falsities, what we most urgently need to build into our character make-up is discernment, the abilities of thinking logically and rationally, of analysing and differentiating. The Air sign Gemini and earthy Virgo are ruled by Mercury, the winged messenger of the Gods. These two signs, each in its own unique way, serve the training of our earthly minds. Gemini and Sagittarius are polar opposites in the zodiac. This is an indication of frictions on the surface of life between these two aspects of our nature, but at the same time they have the potential of harmoniously working together when they join forces and become one.

In broad outlines the evolutionary pathway of all human souls is the same. Everyone’s religious/spiritual education consists of an initial stage that for a sufficiently long time keeps us firmly stuck in the bigotry of believing that our religion is the only holy-making one and that therefore it must be protected at any cost against all non-believers. Somehow they have to be converted into following our beliefs. This must continue until the dream the leaders of our religion have instilled in us comes true and our religion has become the only one on Earth. Because that’s what they are telling us, we think that this has to be achieved by whatever kind of force is required and available to us.

This religious intolerance is pursued by us until our Highest or God Self takes us away from it and guides us upwards and onwards through the remaining stages of our earthly curriculum. For each one of us there eventually comes the glorious moment of awakening. The veil is taken from our inner eyes and perception, the earthly blinkers are removed and once more we become aware of God’s true nature and our own. And that in the end leads us on into the recognition that every one of the religions our world has ever seen has been nothing but another road up the spiritual mountain, which all of us have to walk in our search for a conscious reunion with our Creator, the Great Father/Mother of all life.

Religious institutions of all kinds are under the rulership of the Fire sign Sagittarius and its mighty and expansive planet Jupiter. I leave you to your own thoughts of how this has always expressed itself in the religious institutions of our world and how some of them to this day are experiencing the initial stages – the nursery classes, so to speak – of their earthly curriculum.

However, let’s return to numerology for a moment and consider how in earthly life, by expanding their joint characteristics Sun and Moon, God and Goddess bring each one of us into being. We are part of their third aspect, their child, and together they are constantly manifesting and getting to know themselves – through us. That is the process that has always brought all worlds and the creatures populating them into being.

As far as humankind is concerned, the superconscious faculties of each one us awaken at a certain point in our development. From then onwards they assist us with finding a better understanding not only of ourselves and our world, but of all things. Sooner or later we discover that God and Goddess as such cannot be seen by earthly eyes, but can only be perceived by our inner vision as abstract beings who in the 3 in the first instance of creation manifest themselves as the Great Light. This is the force through which all life and lifeforms are given. The Great Light is their only born son/daughter, who is visible to us earthlings as the Sun in the sky above us as a manifestation of the Great Father and Mother. The physical aspect of the Sun is the Mother, and the spirit behind it and shining through it is the Father. Mother Earth too is a physical and spiritual manifestation of the Great Father/Mother. All creatures are their children, including you and me.

With the help of the worlds they created and the creatures that inhabit them, God and Goddess are constantly expanding their knowledge of themselves and their own nature, just the same as we are doing on the Earth plane. All aspects of the Divine are in complete harmony with each other. Peacefully they are co-operating and through their only born Son/Daughter, the giver, nurturer and sustainer of all life. All is ceaselessly working together in the worlds they have already brought into being, while simultaneously new ones are in the process of being created.

This is what the Holy Trinity means to me and if you can think of a better way of explaining it, please let me know.

Another Excursion Into Numerology

The Number 666​

Today we are going to take a closer look at the theme of the devil and the age old puzzle of the figure 666, which to this day is believed by many to represent the devil, an outside force that is somehow beyond the reach of God. Such a belief was good enough in times gone by, but by now ever more of us are able to grasp that there never were such forces because everything in the whole creation always has been and forever will be of God and from God. Our Creator is a God of dualities and polarities. S/He is our Father/Mother who consists of opposing powers like masculine and feminine, darkness and light, the highest and the lowest, represented by Christ and the Devil.

Because we were created in the image of God, this is also true for us. The more we focus on bringing forth our highest qualities, the more the aspects of our lower nature shrink into the background of our consciousness and eventually wither away completely. Use it or lose it applies to spiritual muscles as much as anywhere else. And this is how in the fullness of time our own Christ nature becomes the saviour and redeemer and the slayer of the beast, i.e. the desires of our earthly self.

The only way the Christ Spirit can save any one of us is by acting as our inner guide, the living God within, who helps us to find ways of pulling ourselves by our own bootstraps – so to speak – out of the Karmic holes we once dug for ourselves. The redemption of those who do not yet know any better than dishing out nasty things to those around them will have to wait until future lifetimes. When they then find themselves at the receiving end of the misdeeds they once handed out, they will not know what’s hit them. And that will make them see our world as a nasty and ugly, unfair and unjust place, when nothing of the kind is true.

Numerology in conjunction with astrology reveals to me that the 666 in truth is a symbol of the dual nature of God and our own. It equally represents the highest good and the greatest evil. To enlarge on this: the 6 is ruled by Venus = love and peace, beauty, balance and harmony. This planet is the ruler of Taurus and Libra. 6+6+6 = 18 = 1 the Sun, planetary ruler of Leo. 8 Saturn, ruler of Capricorn, the sign in which the highest spiritual achievements are possible. 1+8 = 9 is ruled by Mars, the ruler of both Aries and Scorpio. For further understanding you might like to follow the links at the end of this chapter and study the Sun in these signs and their energies. The Sun in Scorpio as the higher expression of Mars is particularly relevant for us and our world at this particular time.

The early Christian teachings – which many follow to this day – still interpreted the opposing forces of the cosmos as a juxtaposition of God, in human form represented by the Master Jesus, and the Devil, who comes to tempt him in the desert. To me, Jesus represents the highest qualities of everyone’s own Christ nature and the desert is a symbolism for the human soul’s exile in physical existences on the Earth plane. However, I am convinced that our planet will not forever remain a spiritual desert. It will only do so for as long as the nourishing influence of the waters of spiritual wisdom and knowledge are lacking.

Take heart and rejoice all human souls who are presently exiled in their earthly existence. With the arrival of a New Age, the sign Aquarius, the Divine Waterbearer, is ever more pouring the living waters of consciousness into every human heart and soul and that of our whole world. This is how the waters of the river of humankind’s understanding have for some time been going through an intensive cleansing process. As a result, with every passing day they are flowing more freely and the desert of human perception is increasingly bursting into bloom.

What is now before you is part of flowering. But it never ceases to amaze me how much our world to this day is filled with superstitions and false beliefs, and how much work on dissolving them is still waiting to be done. To illustrate this with an example, at the beginning of the year 2016 someone drew my attention to the fact that this number consists of 666 + 666 + 666 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 2016. And, as if there weren’t enough negativity and fears in our world, added: ‘Be afraid, be very afraid,’ with a small image of the devil. The 666 brings out in us either the highest or the lowest of our characteristics. The choice which one of these ways we would like to walk is ours, as ever. It seems to me that those who are aware of this endeavour to be on their best behaviour at all times have nothing to fear.

The year 2016 consists of the 2 = the Moon, the symbol of the wisdom of the Great Mother, the feminine. 0 = the circle of Eternity. 1 = the Sun, the symbol of the will and the power of the Great Father. 6 = Venus, the planet of beauty and peace, harmony. For the whole of the millennium before us the wisdom and love the Great Mother will be ever more strongly with us and walking before us, to show ever more of Her children of the Earth their way back home into the awareness of their true nature. For the rest of this century her wisdom unites itself with the circle of Eternity, while the aggression, the power and the will for dominion seeking, empire building and warmongering of the masculine has served its purpose in the earthly education of our race and therefore shrinks ever more into the background.

2 + 0 + 1 + 6 = 9 = Mars, the planetary ruler of fiery Aries and co-ruler with Pluto of watery Scorpio. The fire of the number 9 is pure creative/spiritual/sexual energy. Among many other things the 9 rules sharp instruments, knives and swords. In the right hands it can act as a sword of truth that is capable of cutting through the Gordian knots of false beliefs, prejudices and superstitions. It can turn into a surgeon’s scalpel that removes that which has become unhealthy and is festering in humankind’s individual and collective consciousness.

Many new beginnings will be waiting for us and our world in 2017, a number 10 year. Under the influence of Sun, Moon and Neptune, wise ones whose transmitter/receiver stations are tuned into the frequencies of the highest realms of life will be able to bring their inspiration down onto the Earth plane, for the blessing and healing process of Mother Earth and all her kingdoms.

So, is the 666 a symbol of the beast? Yes, it is. But the devil never was an outside force. The word is merely a metaphor for the lowest character traces of all God’s children of the Earth, and that without exception. It may well be that the year 2016 is going to bring out the best in some of us and the worst in others. The 9 also points in that direction. Whatever you do, never forget that the choice at all times is ours, that human behaviour is chosen and never compulsory, and that this is valid for every one of God’s children of the Earth.

Beloved children of the Earth,
Take good care of Mother Earth.
Hold her in your loving hearts and hand
And recognise her as the precious jewel she truly is.
Her wellbeing and health is closely connected with yours.
Look at her and the way she has been and still is
Suffering at the hands of humankind.
The time for action has come for those of you
Who are aware of their own and Mother Earth’s
True nature and the realities that lie behind
All physical manifestations of life.

Hold your whole world up high,
As you would a small child,
Who delights being lifted into the sky.
Give Mother Earth all your love.
With every breath you take, send it to her.
In each one of your thoughts, words and actions
Express it and make it known.

Realise that she is a living breathing organism,
Who for endless lifetimes has taken care of all of you,
Regardless of how you maltreated her
Because of some of the lessons you needed to learn.
For all awakened ones the time has come for
Redemption and making good
By caring for her and standing up for her needs,
More so than your own.

As aspiring lightworkers and healers
Know your responsibilities towards yourself and your world.
You are here to act as your planet’s guardians and keepers.
Therefore, do whatever is in your power to put an end to
All future exploitation of her precious resources
And fight against contamination and further
Damages to your beloved home planet.
Especially make a stand against fracking,
Where water holes are drilled into the Earth,
Into which a high-pressure mixture of
Water, sand and chemicals is injected into the rock,
To force the gas it contains to the head of the well.

Do all you can to veto satisfying
The companies involved and their shareholders,
Whose greed will never be satisfied until
The whole planet has been ruined and it is too late.
Don’t allow it, for this is the only planet you have.
The Angels and I will see to it
That your race does not disturb another one,
To rape and pillage it of its resources,
The way you were for wise reasons
Permitted to deal with the Earth.

Do your best and the Angels and I will do the rest,
To protect her and keep her safe for the occasions
When you, as your own descendant,
Return to her in future lifetimes.

‘When our interest in the religious/spiritual/philosophical side of life awakens, its hopes, dreams and aspirations increasingly act as our guide to doing the right things at the right moment and avoiding the wrong ones. Our inner guide, the living God within, shows us the greater picture of life and with this comes an awareness of what is truly important in this life. With this recognition we freely and willingly seek ways of doing whatever is in our power to make a difference in our world and to ease the plight of our troubled and long-suffering planet.’

Another Recipe For A Wholesome New Year

As You Like It

Take equal quantities of economy, industry,
Cleanliness, regularity, and watchfulness.
Allow them to simmer together
In the vessel called conscience.
When cool add sufficient spirit of authority
And good humour to taste.
If not clear, add a few grains of resolution.
While fit for use in one year,
It will keep a very long time
And improve with age.

The Homecoming

Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let Earth receive her King.
Let every heart prepare Him room
And Heaven and Nature sing,
And Heaven and Nature sing,
And Heaven and Heaven and Nature sing.

Isaac Watts​

For me, the evolution of our race only begins to make sense when I rise in my perception above the troubles and tribulations of earthly life. This enables me to look down on it from varying heights and it becomes like a vast ocean where, close to the surface, every tiny ripple and wave is visible. From ever greater elevations, however, the water looks increasingly smooth, until – with sufficient perspective – its heavings are imperceptible. I am convinced that in the fullness of time no-one will give a hoot about who vanquished whom at the battle of this, that or the other, or which religion or empire rose and fell. All that matters, in the end, is that individually and collectively every one of our experiences leads to growth and an expansion of consciousness. One small step after another this moves us forwards and upwards on the evolutionary pathway of life. The rest is vanity and will in due course disappear.

The Aquarian Age promises to be an exciting and stimulating one. I do believe that it is fortunate that the decision whether we bring the world of our dreams into being does not rest entirely in human hands. Each one of us has to do share of the work this requires, so that God and the Angels can do the rest. It was decided by them a long, long time ago and there is every reason for us to be thankful and for saying whole-heartedly: ‘Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.’ With the limited knowledge we have about everything, up to date, no matter how clever we think we are, how could we pretend to know what is best for us and our world, as well as the whole of Creation? But accepting our responsibility, how can we make our contribution? Those who can read the writing on the wall and are willing to heed the call are sure to do whatever they can. No matter how small our efforts may look on the surface of things, on the inner levels even the tiniest effort is of value and counts.

The Great healer, master and architect of the whole of Creation and the Angels are rejoicing and celebrating each time one of Its children of the Earth comes home into the awareness of their true nature. For each one of us there eventually comes the time when the mystical side of our nature moves into the foreground of our consciousness and demands our attention. By definition mystical means spiritual, allegorical or symbolic, occult and esoteric, of hidden meaning, mysterious and awe-inspiring. And a mystic is one who seeks, by contemplation and by surrendering their earthly nature to their Highest of God Self, in order to obtain union with and absorption into the Deity. Such a wise one understands spiritual truths that are still beyond the grasp of souls who are still occupied with the lower grades of the evolutionary spiral of life.

Everybody’s Highest Self is the Divine’s tool for safeguarding the continued spiritual progress of us as individual spirits and souls and also that of our whole race. I believe that scientists are necessary for the understanding of the physical part of our existence. Yet, mystics are of equal importance. Maybe even more so, because without the spiritual background of life none of its manifestations would be able to come forth and exist. There simply would be no life. When one of us starts to probe into the spiritual aspects of life and delves into those that have not yet been fully explored by humankind, new levels of consciousness begin to open up and reveal themselves to us. Because of our inner connectedness with each other and all life, when this happens for each individual soul, the same takes place in the collective soul of our world and that of the whole of Creation. A truly awe-inspiring thought.

The Race Of Life

When sometimes you feel out of place,
You’ve further to run just to stay in the race,
And the journey ahead seems too hard to face,
Don’t give up.

When legs become weak, and muscles burn,
And the Earth beneath you begins to churn,
To safer ground, your thoughts may turn, yet
Don’t give up.

When your heart can offer you nothing more,
When defeat descends like a leaden door,
With your confidence leaking from every pore,
Don’t give up.

When all you can do is stay in the race,
Rejecting all compromise; not saving face,
When you dig deep just to keep your pace,
Don’t give up.

You’ll reach a point when, as you make the last turn,
From deep within, a force starts to burn,
Internal fires fuelled, when you yearn,
Just don’t give up.

The finish line, that glint of gold
Is reached by those who do not fold,
For guiding hands come to the bold,
Who don’t give up

That vein of gold you rush to meet,
The pulse of life pounds with your feet,
You’ll find resolve in every beat, when you
Don’t give up!

The Tale Of The Brick​

One day, a successful young business man was travelling down one of his neighbourhood streets. He was the proud owner of a new sports car and was going too fast. In the distance he saw some children playing between the cars parked on either side of the road. Slowing down, he could see no children nearby, but suddenly a brick flew through the air and crashed into the side of his beloved new toy. Slamming on the brakes, he reversed to the spot from which he thought the brick had been thrown.

Angrily, he jumped onto the pavement and grabbed hold of a boy who was standing there. Pushing him against the car, the man shouted: ‘What was that all about and who are you? Just what do you think you are doing? This is a brand new car and the repair of the damage your brick has caused is going to cost me lots of money. Why did you do it?’

The boy was most apologetic and pleaded: ‘I’m so sorry, mister. I just didn’t know what else to do. I threw the brick because no-one would stop and help me.’ With tears rolling down his face and dripping off his chin, he pointed to a spot just beyond a parked car. ‘I did it for my brother,’ he said. ‘He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair. On my own I’m not strong enough to lift him.’ Sobbing loudly by now, the boy asked the man: ‘Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and far too heavy for me on my own.’

Moved beyond words, the man swallowed the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Together they hurried to the wheelchair and lifted the handicapped boy back into it. Using his fine linen handkerchief, the man dabbed at the invalid’s cuts and bruises, but he could see that everything would be fine.

‘Thank you and may God bless you,’ the boy in charge of the wheelchair gratefully said to the stranger. Too shaken for words, the man could do nothing but nod his head and watch the boy pushing his brother home. Deep in thought and very slowly he walked back to his car. Although the damage was very noticeable, he never bothered to have the dent repaired. He kept it as a constant reminder of: ‘Don’t go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!’

Our Creator, the Great Father/Mother of all life, is alive in all of us. It is the small still voice of conscience that communicates with us through the world of our feelings and whispers in our hearts. For each one of us there are times when life appears to bombard us with one brick after another. This is likely to continue until we finally slow down and start to pay attention to the lessons we have come to learn in our present lifetime and the messages the Universe is constantly trying to give us. Eventually every soul re-awakens to its true nature and begins to realise which things are truly important for us as God’s children of the Earth, and finds a set of eternal values.

We are all loved just the way we are. The living proof of this is that the Universe at all times showers us with its gifts, like food to eat and clothes to wear, flowers in spring and a new sunrise every morning. The only thing we have to do is take possession of, enjoy and be thankful for everything that is on offer. All the Universe expects from us each one of us is that we should make an effort to learn something from all our experiences, so that we may evolve and grow in wisdom and understanding of ourselves, each other and our world.

When we freely and voluntarily and with a loving heart give of ourselves and use the special talents the Highest has bestowed upon us, which may have taken many lifetimes to develop, we do our share of making our world into a better, more beautiful, harmonious and peaceful world for all. This is how our worthiness of being called a son/daughter of God reveals itself to the wise ones in charge of us.

The Great White Spirit, Father/Mother of all life, never promised us that all humankind’s days should be without pain, and that we should have laughter without sorrow and sunshine without rain. What S/He can and does give us is strength for each passing day, comfort for our tears and light for our way. Furthermore it gives an eternal assurance that each time one of us has to endure the most bitter and painful life lessons of their lives, the wise ones in the world of light, the Angels and Masters, guides, friends and helpers will always be there to accompany us and guide us safely through them.

Another Excursion Into Numerology

Thirteen – An Unlucky Number?

Part One​

Do you believe that there is such a thing as unlucky numbers? In my view, they do not exist. The numbers represent certain energies, each one of them a different one, which in themselves are neutral. But the same as all things that exist in the whole of Creation they can be used in positive and constructive ways, as well as in negative and destructive ones. The most powerful force of all is thought and the human ability to think. Having been created in the image of God, every one of the characteristics and powers that are in our Creator are also in us.

It is well known by now that we are creative beings, co-creators with God, and like Him/Her constantly in the process of bringing something into being, and that our thoughts create our reality. The corollary of this is that if we expect a certain number to bring us either good or bad fortune, that is indeed what we are unconsciously creating and drawing towards us. Whatever kind of fortune comes our way, we ourselves in some way are always bringing it about.

So, instead of thinking of the thirteen as an unlucky number, how about turning the matter round and start affirming to ourselves that it is a lucky one? On more general terms, if you think you have an unlucky number, maybe several of them, try to work out what started this belief in you. Maybe something unpleasant happened to you early on in your life on a day with this number. Something could have drawn your attention to the number of the day and that could have made it stick in your mind as an unlucky one. The mind being as powerful as it is, there is a strong possibility that from then onwards the thought of this day as being unlucky for you dug itself so deep into your mind that – unbeknown to yourself – the power of your own thoughts later drew further unpleasant occurrences into your life.

To this day, our world contains a great many myths and superstitions which, in the light of the spiritual knowledge that is flowing ever more strongly into our world, are no longer sustainable. Yet, for as long as one of us still thinks that such false beliefs are true, they will continue to pour their negative energies into our individual and collective consciousness. This article was written in the hope that it will be possible to disperse the negativity and darkness that to this day surround the widely held belief that the thirteen is an unlucky number. Take it from me that it is nothing of the kind. In truth, it is a warning number. To get a better understanding of why this should be so, please join me in another brief excursion into numerology.

First let’s take a look at the energies of the thirteen. 1 = the Sun, the planetary ruler of fiery Leo, as well as the 3 = fiery and expansive Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius. When these figures join forces, i.e. 1 + 3 = 4, the energies of Uranus, the ruler of airy Aquarius is added. Uranus is the planet of revolution, transformation and transmutation. Its energies are designed to destroy the old, so that something new and better can take its place. Disruptive and destructive as they are by nature, when they let loose on their own and lack the restraining influence of Saturn, the co-ruler of Aquarius with Uranus, the manifestations of these energies can be extremely unpleasant. This is why the wisdom of the Highest has provided that in Aquarius the two planets should work together. Saturn, the stern and unyielding teacher of self-discipline and self-mastery, stands at the gate as keeper and guardian of the Aquarian Age. No-one is going to be allowed entry into this age without having worked their way through Saturn’s trials and tribulations. We are in this life to survive them and through them gain the Divine gift of self-mastery over the instincts and desires of our lower earthly nature.

If you read my interpretations of Leo and Sagittarius, you will see that Fire is courageous, frequently to the point of foolhardiness. The result is that when our energies contain too much Fire, we have great difficulties learning to control our tendency to act too impulsively. The fire signs love to rush in where Angels fear to tread, without due forethought, attention to detail and totally lacking any regard for their own wellbeing and that of others.

Thirteen – An Unlucky Number?

Part Two​

Uranus, the ruler of the Air sign Aquarius, enters the stage where the fiery energies of 1 and the 3 are already present. Fire and Air get on well with each other. Just look at nature and see for yourself how Air loves the leaping response from Fire. Observe how Fire enjoys being fanned by Air, how that makes it rush and roar along, to its heart’s content, ever more strongly and unless it is carefully supervised it soon gets out of control, destroying everything in its path. Understanding the nature of these two energies, it takes no genius to work out what is likely to happen in case of the thirteen. Requiring only the slightest impulse, the constant presence of Air sees to it that the soul’s inner fire rises with great enthusiasm and is ready to take off and go whoosh any time.

The great and mighty planet Uranus, co-ruler of Aquarius, represents the will of God. It is not for nothing that it is known as the planet of change, of transformation and transmutation. Its potent energies require some extremely careful handling and unless Saturn’s requirements have been fulfilled by us, we shall not be able to handle them wisely. Uranian energies can and do bring sudden and dramatic disruptions to everything they come into contact with. The idea behind it is that they trying to move us forward into conditions that are more appropriate and beneficial for our present evolutionary state. However, without at least a degree of understanding for the great need for caution, forethought and attention to detail, the Uranian energies may leave nothing but destruction in their wake.

Numerology deals with the planetary energies of the astrological planets and signs. As established, in the thirteen we encounter Uranus and Saturn is sitting in the prompting box of the great theatre of life, well hidden from public view and waiting to take us through our final tests that will show how ready we are to be released into the greater freedom of the Aquarian Age. In truth, the much hated Saturn of past ages has always been humankind’s best friend. He is Old Father Time himself, the teacher who in later life turns into the rewarder of those who patiently attend to his lessons. Under Saturn’s supervision anyone who acts too hastily at any given time, encounters delays and frustrations that stops them from trying to get to their goal too quickly. For those who do not heed Saturn’s stop signals and insist on pushing forwards carelessly and without concern for anyone’s wellbeing, accidents will teach them to be more cautious next time. Could this be how over time the thirteen acquired its poor reputation?

Yet, in things like these wise ones recognise the great power and care, love and wisdom of the Highest, who decreed that Saturn should act as the guardian of the gateway to our true home, the final reunion with our Creator. Everybody has to pass through Saturn’s tests to reach the spiritual freedom that is the promise of the Aquarian Age. No exceptions are made, for that is the only way any one of us can become spiritualised, i.e. altogether more focused on our true reality and our true nature, in touch with our spirit and soul and capable to respond to its demands,

At all times the Universe is trying to guide us in some way and to give us clues as to what is currently moving through our lives. In the fullness of time the awareness of this can grow into a valuable tool and life-help. All we need to do is to pay attention to the signs, signals and symbolisms we are finding along the way. It is up to us to make an effort at intuitively interpreting their meaning. For example, if the number thirteen crops up in our life repeatedly and we insist on living too much on the fast track, the Universe may be trying to tell us to slow down, as otherwise there could be an accident.

If your life is affected by the thirteen, maybe permanently because you were born on that day of the month – any month – or just temporarily, this article is a gift from the Universe for you. Yes, it is bringing a note of caution but that does not need to frighten you or anyone else. It is merely trying to help us find a better understanding of the thirteen, so that we may shed yet another one of our false beliefs and overcome the fears that used to accompany this number. If anything, do all you can to make it into a lucky one!

[Aquarius123]

Numerological Interpretation Of A Year

Part One​

As an example of how the nature of a year can be analysed with the help of numerology, here is my interpretation of the year 2008. It is an analysis of the energies that were at that time influencing us and our world, as well as a reflection of how, in my view, the energies of each subsequent year are likely to affect all of us. I am adding a few tips as to how they might be used wisely, in the hope of achieving the best results for each one of us individually as well as our whole world.

The of the year 2008 represent, in the order of their appearance: 2 = the Moon, the planetary ruler of the Water sign Cancer, the sign of the nurturing and caring principle of life, the Great Mother. 00, the two zeros represent two circles of eternity as a double strength manifestation of our world’s present attunement to the Eternal. 8 = Saturn, the planetary ruler of the Earth sign Capricorn, old Father Time himself. The presence of the eight in this year indicates that it is likely that many tests and trials, delays and frustrations have to be encountered by all of us and that for a wise and higher reason. They are going to assist us with developing the self-discipline we need to reach for and fulfil our highest potential. The self-mastery of wise ones, who willingly accept Saturn’s teachings and who express their creativity in constructive and positive ways for the highest good of all, reach their goal easily. More about Saturn’s influence in part two of my interpretation of 2008.

Let’s return to numerology. When you add the 2 and the 8 together, you get a 10. To my mind, that is a fortunate omen, as the one is ruled by the Sun itself. This means that this year is going to be the beginning of a whole new cycle of experiences for each one of us and also for our world. Those who use the energies the Universe puts at our disposal wisely are going to walk under the guidance and protection of the Sun, the Highest Star. And the Angels and Masters in charge of us and our world are waiting to show all of us how to make great strides forward in the spiritual homecoming, individually and collectively, of the Aquarian Age.

The blending together of the energies of the numbers two, eight, a double dose of zero, as well as the one, to me, mean:

2 = the great sensitivity and creativity of the Moon, symbol of the human soul and the sensitive feminine feeling side of both genders. The Moon also represents the Goddess, the Great Mother of all Life. The feminine is passive, receptive and introverted; its polar opposite, the masculine, is active, outgoing and extroverted. You can find out more about this in ‘The Qualities Of The Signs’.

00 – two circles of Eternity, hence a double attunement to it.

8 = Saturn, the symbol of the aspect of God as the stern teacher and taskmaster, who demands from all human souls that they self-discipline and self-mastery. Where Saturn is involved, everything has to be just right; ‘i’s have to be dotted and ‘t’s crossed, anything less is not good enough.

Ah, but there is more to the eight than meets the eye! Lay it on its side and what do you get? The ∞, the symbol of infinity, of life and worlds without beginning and end, ever flowing into each other and renewing themselves. And that brings us and our world yet another reinforcement of our attunement to the Eternal.

10 = 1 = the Sun, planetary ruler of the Fire sign Leo, which is the symbol of the Highest Star and the greatest light in the Universe, the Universal Christ.

The Sun and the Moon represent the first and second aspect of Divinity. This is not to be interpreted as some kind of a classification or preferential order. There is no division between the two parts. They are completely one and function harmoniously together to constantly bring forth a third, their child in all its many manifestations throughout the whole of Creation. Read more about this in ‘The Holy Trinity’.

But wait! The 10 contains yet another zero that almost got away at the time of writing this interpretation. Therefore, there is a third attunement to eternity that is strengthening the energies of the two zeroes mentioned earlier.

To reiterate, the coming together of the Moon and Saturn is an indication that, throughout the whole of the year 2008, the Universe will be trying to present all of us with many opportunities for achieving the self-mastery that is Saturn’s requirement. Those who ungrudgingly accept this shall find many openings for learning to take charge of and controlling their emotional nature. It seems to me that this will be very necessary when the energies of the 2 Moon and 8 Saturn join forces and become the energies of the 1, the Sun. Through this immense amounts of creative energies of great strength will be released and flow directly from the Highest into us and everything that shares our world with us.

As energies of this nature are extremely precious, they require cautious handling and channelling. There is nothing for it but turning towards God and the Angels, so they can show us how to use and express the forces that are going to be released in truly positive ways and on projects that serve the highest good of all. The only way of creating things that are not only of great value for us and our world, but for the whole of Creation, is through unselfishness and self-mastery. And the presence of the eight, Saturn’s number, is an indication that this is going to be available to us all during the coming year.

Numerological Interpretation Of A Year

Part Two

The Saturn Mystery
​

Saturn is a symbol of the bridge every soul must cross in its search for perfect re-alignment with infinity and its eternal or God Self. The co-rulership of Aquarius by Saturn and Uranus is the signpost that is showing us all of us the way into the New Age. The need for applying strictest self-discipline to every part of our being is shown by the order in which the planets appear here – Saturn first and then Uranus, the liberator. Uranus is waiting to release each one of us into the freedom of the Aquarian Age by first helping us to burst and shake off the Karmic chains and shackles, as well as all false beliefs and prejudices. Even if they have been dear to us over many lifetimes, they must now go.

One of the many treasured false beliefs that have been held in our world for far too long is that Saturn is the planet of darkness, when nothing could be further from the truth. The names Saturn – Satan – Lucifer, the light bearer and shining one, point us to the fact that Saturn’s role all along really has been that of a bringer of light, and that the planet by no means has deserved its old-fashioned reputation as the dark and sombre malefic of the zodiac. Now that ever more of us are approaching spiritual maturity, Saturn, the stern and demanding schoolmaster, is revealing itself increasingly as the great benefactor of humankind, whose task is to lead each one of us back into the light of recognising our true nature and home.

And that is how Saturn indeed becomes the bringer of light. Spiritually, this means enlightenment that comes to us in the form of wisdom and understanding gained as we battle our way through the tests and trials of earthly life. This is particularly strongly felt in Capricorn, whose sole planetary ruler is Saturn. There is a great deal of duality about the characteristics of this planet, the same as everything else in the whole of Creation, including us. Because of this Capricorn can bring out either the best or the worst in human souls.

Yet, most important for the progress of human souls on the evolutionary pathway of life is that it is the sign in which the highest human endeavours, hopes and dreams can find their fulfilment. We are all gifted in some special way and our particular aptitude may have taken many lifetimes to develop and polish to ever greater heights of perfection. One of our lifetimes in Capricorn may then offer us opportunities for sharing our talent and bringing it to the attention of the public. The most elevated aim of this sign is the high priest, who serves humankind as the power behind the throne. And the more spiritually orientated we become and unselfishly strive for the highest good of our whole world, the closer we get to this goal. And so, it is not hard to see how Saturn the teacher eventually turns into the rewarder.

Every spirit’s earthly education consists of getting to know, each through their own experiences, with the darkest, most dangerous and evil aspects of our nature. In the course of many lifetimes, one small step after another, we move up the evolutionary spiral. This continues until eventually we are once more getting in touch with the characteristics of our higher nature. Saturn is the planet of Karma and plays the role of Old Father Time in our lives. It is a metaphor for the wisdom and justice of the Highest, the all seeing and hearing one who cannot be cheated, for the simple reason that it is part of us. That is how it comes about that in the fullness of time each one of us is presented with the Karmic bill for every one of the misdeeds of our earlier earthly sojourns, no matter how far back in the past they may have taken place.

All these things shed light onto the mystery of why Saturn, when it is visible in the sky above us, is visually the most beautiful planet in our solar system of all. The willingness with which the human soul submits itself to Saturn’s tests and trials reveals the degree of spiritual maturity it has reached, at any given phase in its evolution, and shows its readiness or otherwise of being released into the freedom of the Aquarian Age.

But let’s return for a moment to the year 2008 and the Sun sign Leo. In that year the Universe made this sign’s positive and direct approach to life available to everybody. An abundance of optimism and enthusiasm for bringing something new and beautiful into being was there for all to participate in. For many it could become a year for loving from the heart and giving freely whatever flows from the heart of the Universe into ours, for all to enjoy. Like the Sun in the sky above us giving its warmth and love freely and joyously to all life, we as earthlings and young Gods in the making were encouraged to share God’s rich abundance of creative ideas with all life. The reward of souls who at any given time are making an effort at tapping securely into what is, after all, the creative power of God, is increased joy, love and great strength of purpose and willpower.

Mind you, the Universe is not doing these things for nothing. It does indeed expect something from us in return. We are on the Earth so that one day we should discover that the energies available to us are meant to be used as tools that enable us to do our share of bringing our new and peaceful world into being in the most effective manner. Being created in the image of God, all His/Her characteristics and powers are also in us, and we too contain our Creator’s power that can either bless and heal or wantonly destroy. The Universe loves us. We are Its children and because of this it assists us at all times with bringing into being whatever our human hearts truly desire. This is how in the course of many lifetimes we are getting to know the powers within and how to use them wisely.

Everything in the whole of Creation is at our disposal and will in the fullness of time – when we are good and ready for it – be within our reach. And if we wish more than anything for our world to become a peaceful one, the Universal forces will show us how to go about it and each one of us has to do their share of bringing it into being. All things have their origin in us and if we want peace, we have to begin with ourselves, sweep in front of our own door and conduct our lives in more peaceful ways through tirelessly working on more kind and loving relationships, with ourselves, those around us and also our environment.

One of the main reasons for spending time in earthly life is to teach us how to differentiate and discriminate, for example between good and evil, darkness and light. And whether something we do is good or evil depends on our intentions behind the actions. The outcome of any one of them reveals whether an activity was good or bad. In some way, we are all pupils and teachers to each other. Life itself and the experiences we are constantly gathering are our teachers

The Universe experiences itself through us. It prays and thinks through us. And at least potentially each one of us is a channel of the Divine who can simultaneously act as a receiver/transmitter and relay station of Its wisdom. The super-abundance of creative ideas from the spiritual Sun during the year 2008 were available to all of us and it was up to each individual to decide how they should be used. For the many new beginnings that were coming towards us we did require all of the strength of the Sun’s creative energies. At the beginning of the year they were flowing comparatively slowly, but their speed and strength increased as we moved through the year.

Updated 19th January 2016. It may interest you that this year is a No. 9 one. To me that means that there will be many endings and conclusions for each one of us individually and also for our world. Seeing is believing and you can verify what I am saying for yourself when you consider how many famous people have already been parting from this plane of life, although the year is only nineteen days old at the time of writing this.

The year 2017 will be a No. 10 year and a whole new cycle of experiences will begin and bring us many new beginnings.

Do Not Blame The Numbers Or The Stars​

Whenever something goes wrong in our lives, it is all too easy to blame someone else for what is happening. If nobody can be found, God or the Universe – for as long as one still fails to understand their true nature – will do. Some go as far as accusing the numbers, in the case of numerology, or the peacefully and serenely moving planets, astrology, in the sky above them for the events in their lives. They may even hold them responsible for their negative character traits, when nothing could be further from the truth. As much as many people appear to dislike the idea, we alone are responsible for the way we are and behave.

Neither the numbers nor the stars MAKE us the way we are. The planets are never the reason for earthly events. Yet, in some mysterious way any kind of happening is caused by humankind’s behaviour patterns and the karmic debts each one of us is bringing into every new lifetime. The way we behave is quite decidedly not the result of the positioning of the planets and the aspects they form to each other in our birthcharts. The birthchart is a blueprint of a moment in space and time, which reveals what we were at the moment of our birth. Every bit of the characteristics we developed in previous lifetimes we are bringing with us into our next one, so they can be worked on some more and – hopefully – improved.

Therefore, when things seem to go wrong in anyone’s life, including our own, it is not because of a certain alignment of the stars in the Heavens, but because the energies are right for life to try and teach us a specific kind of lesson. We ourselves agreed to take part in it, a long before entering our present lifetime. Blaming others is invariably an attempt at trying to find an escape route. Alas, no spiritual progress is possible for as long as we cling to this approach to life and our place within it. Until we let go of this belief, we shall remain firmly stuck on the evolutionary spiral. Our lives can only change for the better when we finally accept the responsibility for everything that is in them.

The planets, God, the Universe, mother and father, grandmother and grandfather, aunts and uncles as well as all other kinds of relatives are most certainly not responsible for any of our character traces. This is especially true for the less pleasant or downright unsavoury ones. Every single one of them is our responsibility. We brought them with us into this lifetime in the hope that this time round we would wake up to our true nature. At long last we would then roll up our sleeves, metaphorically speaking, and get to work on improving our earthly personality, so that one fine day even the lowest aspects of our nature will finally have been overcome.

The only reason why the people around us are displaying some of our characteristics, good and bad alike, is that our energies and lifepath are compatible with theirs. This is necessary because it enables all of us to act not only as pupils and teachers to each other, but also as mirrors. We have reincarnated as a group so that we may learn and grow together in this particular set of circumstances, parents and family line. Becoming aware of these things puts the onus on us as an individual to do our best to change our deeply ingrained behaviour patterns, so that in this process our weaknesses are converted into strengths. Our good example can show others the way and assist them with doing this kind of work on themselves.

I believe that the root of all human problems can be found in everybody’s prejudices, false beliefs and perceptions. They were created in previous lifetimes through misunderstandings and misinterpretations of our own and other people’s motivations. I believe that the difficulties most people are encountering, to this day have their origin in nothing more mysterious than not knowing who and what we truly are and the reason for our being in earthly life. For as long as this is the case, it is impossible to recognise the role we are all meant to play in each other’s lives.

The result of this ignorance is that when something goes wrong in our lives, finding scapegoats is a great deal easier than accepting the accountability for ourselves and the way we conduct our lives. This changes profoundly as soon as we awaken to our true nature and realise the responsibilities every human being on the Earth plane has. Blaming anyone for our own shortcoming and errors is then no longer an option for us.

This kind of knowledge would have been too much of a burden for us to carry in earlier lifetimes. But those of us who are now reaching their spiritual adulthood are ready to deal with some initially rather unpalatable truths, like:

• We are responsible for ourselves, for our character, the way we are and behave.
• The planets do not make us the way we are, they merely reflect what is inside us and have brought with us from previous lifetimes.
• For every thought, word and action we are accountable towards the Highest forces of Creation.
• Every action causes a re-action.
• We have freedom of choice, and every choice we make has consequences. Not choosing also represents a choice.
• A responsibility and a duty is attached to every right we have been given.

For as long as we remain unaware of how the processes of life work, as parents we stand before our children: with delight and pride if they are doing well, unhappily and with dismay if they are not. Our ego may swell mightily at the thought of having produced such a wonderful offspring or we could be deeply ashamed, as the case may be.

Yet, when the loving union of two wise ones has been blessed with a particularly gifted child, they realise what a great honour it is that a youngster of this calibre has been placed into their care. Humbly they stand before the child and its talents, doing all they can to help these gifts to develop some more. They carefully refrain from claiming them as the child’s inheritance from its earthly parents. Aware that giving birth to a child is the highest expression of creativity, whilst kneeling in awe and wonder before the miracle of life they do not overlook who has done the creating – through them.

Ruled By The Stars​

Today we are going to take a closer look at how the stars influence us and our lives in more general terms. As mentioned earlier, it is a commonly held view that the planets are responsible for the things that are in our lives and especially for everything that may ever go amiss with them. To this day, many seriously believe that the stars control us and our behaviour in some way and that as a matter of fact we are ruled by the stars. The position of the planets in the Heavens above us at the moment of our birth merely reflect what we already and bringing with us into our new earthly lifetime from all previous ones. The stars did not make us that way, we ourselves did.

The most striking evidence that anyone could hope for to verify the truth of this was given to me by the Universe with the help of my own birth details. Ever since becoming seriously interested in what I like to call ‘real’ astrology, I had thought I was born at a certain time in the morning. It had been given to me by someone from my immediate family circle and there was no reason to suspect the information was incorrect. In 1998 an opportunity arose for me to visit the Register Office of my hometown. To my astonishment I found out that my time of birth is quite a different one. Equipped with the wisdom of hindsight it was easy to see why, from the moment of erecting my first birthchart the details it revealed had somehow never felt quite right.

Can you imagine what an extraordinary moment it was to sit in front of a very old book and seeing the registrar’s hand-written entry of the time of my birth? At first, I could not believe my eyes and thought I was looking at someone else’s details. But no, they were mine all right and I had not been born in the morning, as I had originally been told, but shortly after noon. What a difference that made and because my time of birth has been corrected, my birthchart now feels right. My life and I fit into it like a hand slips into a glove. This showed me that a different date of birth or any other kind of wrong birth information – whichever way it may come to us – does not and cannot basically change the one we are.

Each time we re-enter this world we bring with us enormous potential for spiritual growth and learning. Sadly only a fraction of it is ever fulfilled by any one of us in the course of each lifetime. Astrology shows the predestined pathway our soul has chosen for the advancement of our personal evolution for this lifetime. It can give us pointers where the soul is coming from and where it is going to. God and the Angels in charge of us alone know how much of our highest potential has been developed by us in previous lives. Being able to see the whole picture, they know what kind of emotional/spiritual luggage we have brought with us this time round, and how many outstanding issues are still waiting to be resolved by us.

The Sun in our birthchart by sign and house position reveals in broad outlines the lifepath in which the development of our spirit is moving. The Sun represents the future and the direction in which the spirit of our Highest or God Self is directing and guiding us forwards and upwards on the evolutionary spiral of life. In contrast to this, the Moon represents the pull of past. By sign and house position it indicates where we are coming from. It gives us clues about the earthly personality and the characteristics we had developed up to the end of our most recent earthly lifetime. We have brought them with us this one and because they are now working from the subconscious level, the old and usually deeply ingrained behaviour and thinking patterns frequently try to keep us stuck in the past.

Recognising our weaknesses is easier when we take a good look at ourselves with utter honesty and then study the positive as well as the negative qualities of our Sun sign and its house position. The positive ones are good pointers of how to transform them into strengths. The negative aspects of our nature are encountered and practised on the downwards winding spiral of life and the positive ones when we are at last moving in a forwards and upwards direction. It takes a long time until we recognise that we are actually allowed to choose in which direction we wish to move.

When we have grown into a wise one, we recognise that the knowledge of such things can provide us with the key for unlocking all the suffering and miseries of Earth life and for turning our present existence into a joyous journey of exploration and discoveries. By that time we have learnt to apply the spiritual knowledge we are finding along the way to our advantage, namely for the healing of ourselves and those around us. And that in the larger picture of life means for the benefit of all, for when we are healing and making good progress, all life and lifeforms are doing the same and moving with us.

When placed into the right hands, a birthchart can be helpful in many different ways. For example, I believe that some kind of special task is waiting to be fulfilled by each one of us. Read more about this by following the link ‘You Are Special’ at the end of this chapter. Furthermore our chart can provide us with pointers for finding out what ours is. It can also show us in which part of our life karmic debts are waiting to be paid and credits have been accumulated in other lifetimes. It can assist us with finding a better understanding of the nature of the polarities and dualities that are in God and therefore in us.

Wise ones bear in mind that in God all energies are neutral and in perfect balance – there is no good or bad. The quality of the energies in each one of us is the same, at least potentially. Whether we are as yet aware of them, they are there and constantly at our disposal. The decision whether we apply them to good or bad purposes, at any given moment reveals the degree of our spiritual maturity.

The final destination of every human spirit and soul is the conscious reunion with our Creator, the Great Father/Mother of all life. The road to this goal is considerably eased as well as shortened as soon as we take charge of our selves and our character. Changing our weaknesses into strengths requires much self-discipline and self-mastery, Saturn’s domain. Overcoming and leaving behind the desires and urges of our lower earthly nature means doing our share of establishing God’s kingdom on the Earth. It is our way of bringing our own small piece of Heaven down to the Earth, for ourselves and those around us. Taking charge of our character puts us firmly into the driving seat of our fate on the voyage back home into the oneness with our Creator and all life.

Invitation To A Journey Of Discovery And Healing​

We live in difficult and tumultuous times – only a fool would deny that. Don’t you think it’s the highest time for some almighty changes? Take heart, dear Friend, there is no need to be depressed about anything in our world. To change our perception of things all we need to do is lift our inner eyes above the clouds that to this day surround our world. Lo and behold! What an exciting and stimulating place with endless opportunities for learning and growing it actually is! The only thing this requires is a willingness to peer beyond the ends of our noses and in our minds reaching out towards the distant horizons of the highest levels of life, where everything that is in this world and all others – including you and me – has its origin.

Over many years, I have been developing my own philosophy of life that nourishes and sustains me, as I move through my daily experiences. The insights I am constantly gaining into life’s processes, I am sharing with you in all my writings. Be careful though and refuse to take anything that comes to your attention at face-value. Whatever we hear or read is asking to enter into our consciousness and we are responsible for what we allow in. It is up to each one of us to pay attention to our inner guidance to tell us whether something has any validity for us and only then to go ahead with testing and trying it for ourselves. We are always the bottom line and we alone can decide whether we are willing to take on board what is said anywhere, including in all my writings.

We have many friends and helpers in the world of light to whom we can turn in times of distress, so they can come and help us work our way through them. All of us have one particular spiritual teacher who may be attached to us through a number of earthly lifetimes. This being contacts us from a much higher level than the other friends and helpers. Its guidance comes to us through our conscience and is known as the voice of our Highest Self or of the living God within. From the highest levels of life it contacts us and its voice can become very strong. In this manner it speaks to our earthly consciousness when we have reached the highest level that can be attained in earthly life. Everything that is beautiful, pure and true comes through us from our Highest Self, the level on which our spiritual teacher lives and works.

Wise ones, whenever someone brings a new item of spiritual wisdom and truth to their attention, listen carefully to what their inner guidance has to say about it. If something does not fit into their present belief system, they refuse to stick their heads into the sand in ostrich fashion and pretend that what they are hearing is untrue and a load of nonsense. They know that this does not make any item of information disappear and appreciate that it is in the nature of spiritual awakening that any existing store of beliefs is relentlessly in need of updating and expanding. And so, in their search for spiritual growth in wisdom and understanding, they are willing to let go of some – maybe all – of their long held and often cherished perceptions of what truth is.

In contrast to this young and inexperienced souls frequently stick their heads into the sand. They are doing this for the simple reason that they are as yet unable to recognise when a part of God’s wisdom and truth that is new to them comes their way. When such youngsters have matured into spiritual adulthood, they too will be able to comprehend and accept the ground rules for human life on the Earth plane. They too will then know that: we are all responsible for ourselves and also our world. Whatever befalls us in our present existence was brought about by the Karma that was created by our very own thoughts, words and actions of previous lifetimes. In this way everything that is in our world now was brought about by all of us together. We are all accountable for its present state and therefore expected to do our share of putting things right again and doing our best to make Mother Earth a more peaceful and harmonious place for all lifeforms she holds in her loving embrace.

Every right brings with it a duty and for every lifetime we are allowed to spend here we are under the moral obligation of looking after and caring for our planet. This enables us to make amends for all kinds of damage we have done to it, in this lifetime and all previous ones. Each small effort we make is an expression of gratitude towards Mother Earth for enduring our presence, for sharing her abundance with us and for her sheer endless patience and hospitality she has always shown to us.

Changing The World
Do not try to change the world.
You will fail.
Try to love the world.
And lo, the world is changed,
Changed forever.

Sri Chinmoy

If we try to change our world
Without first changing ourselves, we are sure to fail.
But when we come to terms with its true purpose
And perceive it in a new light, we learn to love it and
For us, quite magically, the world changes forever.

As our inner eyes open, we begin to recognise
The good in all people and situations.
Our heart and soul then fills with compassion and love
For those who, trapped in the darkness of
Their ignorance and greed, still insist on creating suffering,
Maybe for millions, and therefore negative Karma for themselves.
We no longer sit in judgement over anyone
And that helps us to create ever more positive Karma
For ourselves and our world.
